Hi
Are you sure that all the interfaces you have configured carp on have
link and can connect to each other? (I've seen similar behaviour caused
by defective NICs: receive buffer not receiving while send buffer still
sending - try ping on all interfaces) Is lo up? Is there any other
router on the same network segment that propagates the same VHID with a
better metric (i suppose that a VRRP router on the same net could cause
trouble if it uses the same VHIDs).
no answers, just questions, I know ...
